Depressioncanbefun is an initiative of Helen McNallen who has suffered from Clinical and Bipolar Depression and wants to help others and spread the word. The site's name originated from the 'black comedy' of her experiences of manic depression and is certainly not meant to offend or belittle Depression. The site was launched officially on World Mental Health Day, 10th October 2008, at the invitation of the NHS at one of the many events hosted by them around the country.- Helen McNallen

My Alpha-Stim was the saving grace for me. I didn’t need my medication any more and my therapy ended in March this year. Now I am energetic, I go to the gym, I am back on track. Alpha-Stim has made a huge difference to me. Joanne Thompson.
